TL;DR Summary

An 11-year-old girl from Sierra Leone was rescued off the coast of Lampedusa after surviving three days at sea clinging to tyre tubes following a shipwreck that likely killed over 40 people. The girl was the sole survivor from a boat that departed from Sfax, Tunisia, and encountered a storm. Rescuers from Germany's Compass Collective found her suffering from hypothermia but responsive. The incident highlights the dangers faced by migrants on the Mediterranean route and has prompted renewed calls for safe passage for refugees.
